Who Enforces GPSR in Poland?

In Poland, the authority most closely associated with the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 is the Urząd Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów (UOKiK), the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection. The GPSR has applied across the EU since 13 December 2024, and Poland enforces it through its national market-surveillance system, with UOKiK playing a central role.

What UOKiK does

UOKiK coordinates market surveillance and consumer protection in Poland. In the context of product safety, its work can include monitoring products on the market, requesting documentation from businesses, and taking corrective action where a product is unsafe.

• Inspecting products and reviewing supporting safety documentation.
• Requiring corrective measures such as withdrawals or recalls of unsafe products.
• Cooperating with other EU authorities on cross-border safety issues.

What this means for your PrestaShop store

If you sell into Poland, you should be able to respond to a request from the authorities with the information the GPSR expects. That includes the manufacturer and EU responsible-person details, product identifiers, and clear safety warnings, all of which should already appear on your listings under Article 19. Keeping supporting documentation ready helps you respond quickly.

Some product categories may fall to specialised bodies rather than UOKiK alone, so confirm which authority is responsible for your specific goods directly with UOKiK rather than assuming a single point of contact covers everything.
